The movement of utilities on Lon Mee bridge on Harriman’s Pansy Hill Road is near completion.

Harriman Utility Board manager Bill Young said they are running tests on the water line currently before putting it online.

“The paving will come as the weather clears up hopefully pretty soon,” he said.

The road has had temporary lane closures and workers directing traffic while the move was completed over many months. Several cuts in the road have been made to move the lines on both Pansy Hill and on Emory Drive as well.

After a night of fun celebrating a comrade’s 20th birthday, Gerald W. Lay and the rest of the crew of a B-17G were awakened Saturday, Nov. 25, 1944, with news they had to fly a bombing raid to a German oil refinery.

It was only his second mission. The crew had been in England only a month, and it was one that ended with Lay averting the enemy for days before becoming a prisoner of war at Camp Stalag 1 at Barth, Pomerania.
